Kim Sang-Bok, president of Torch Trinity New University College, took on the role of principal.\u00a0Jung Ho-jun Lee Tae-woong Lee Jong-wook Yoon Kyung-ro Kim Hyung-tae Kang Young-aan Jung Chang-\u00a0Some of them have a very negative perception of UBF.\u00a0Two UBF graduates, including Professor Lim Su-soo, Hannam University, and Peter Chang,\u00a0Of course, the Bible was strengthened by the inner shepherds.\u00a0It is really an exceptional class of teachers.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\" align=\"right\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\"><\/td>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/n405.ndsoftnews.com\/picNfile\/200107\/0726ahnbh.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"376\" border=\"1\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u25b2 Pastor Ahn Byung-ho, who gave his first lecture on the first day.\u00a0He<br \/>\nwas the victim of the UBF First Reform Movement<br \/>\nin 1976. \u24d2 News &amp; Joe Kim Seung-bum<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Above all, Pastor Ahn Byung-ho, who is the co-president of the Gyeonggi-do, and ESF chairman, is the first lecturer on the first day.\u00a0Pastor Ahn was a key figure in the UBF reform in &#8217;76, but was effectively removed from the organization.\u00a0Is not the ESF a missions agency created by reformers who have split from UBF?\u00a0Pastor Ahn repeatedly said in a lecture about the voices mentioned above that &#8220;I did not think I would meet again like this in 25 years&#8221; in various places of the lecture.\u00a0He said, &#8220;Though it is not forgiveness yet, but God works, someday God will forgive all things and one day may come,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Inviting outside instructors demonstrates a humble attitude of opening the mind and ears and listening to the voice outside UBF.\u00a0In the meantime, UBF&#8217;s contribution to the mission history of the institute has been negligible, but it has been increasingly unbiblical and impersonal in an overly closed and authoritative atmosphere.\u00a0However, the new style of leadership, which can lead the ministry of the institute in the 21st century on the biblical and theological basis, has been demanded relatively steadily.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, this kind of atmosphere has appeared in various forms since the beginning of this year.\u00a0In the case of the Seoul Myeongryun Center, Pastor Chung Caleb delivered a message criticizing himself inside the UBF at the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the center last spring.\u00a0He also invited a missionary who was known to be an outsider, and he heard the voices of outsiders about the UBF.\u00a0In addition, in June, we held college student retreats nationwide for the first time.\u00a0Also inviting outside lecturers such as Pastor Kim Jin-hong of Dooree Church and Dr. Kim Jin-kyung, President of Yanbian University of Education is also part of the open flow.\u00a0Also, joining the Academy Evangelization Council and participating in the Christian Ethics Campaign after a long effort is a phenomenon that makes it very unusual for those who are familiar with the closure of UBF.<\/p>\n<p>On the first day of the missionary meeting, shepherd Kim Yoan, the chairperson of the conference, instead of presenting the opening message to celebrate the 40th anniversary, reflects on the past 40 years, while also introducing new paradigm, new community, new faith confession, new mission strategy and theology, &#8220;I have to say that it is time to take a step forward.&#8221;\u00a0Kim emphasized new leadership in particular.\u00a0He described this as &#8220;incarnational leadership.&#8221;\u00a0The emphasis on incarnational leadership in the opening message implies that there has been a significant problem with UBF leadership so far.\u00a0In a closed structure, unbiblical, impersonal, non-autonomous, and unfamiliar leadership solidified as a result, and as a result, they are contents that are naturally exposed to various evils.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/n405.ndsoftnews.com\/picNfile\/200107\/0726pray.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" border=\"1\" \/><\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u25b2 This mission conference has\u00a0great significance for\u00a0the healing and recovery of wounds\u00a0.\u00a0\u24b8 News &amp;
